  • ✨BILL DILLON: Guest artist spotlight
 
We can’t WAIT to hear Bill Dillon play guitar at our February 11 concert, Come Together! HPO Performs the Beatles🎸Given his unbelievable career spent befriending and performing with rockstars - and even partying with George Harrison himself - Bill is the perfect artist for this show! 

✨ABOUT BILL DILLON: 

Bill Dillon was born in Toronto and was based in Grimsby, Ancaster and New Orleans before calling Hamilton home. A legendary guitarist, Bill has worked with the best, including Sarah McLachlan, Counting Crows, The Boomers, Edie Brickell, Chrissie Hynde, Robbie Robertson, Joni Mitchell, Daniel Lanois and Peter Gabriel. "What he does on guitar is what a synthesizer would do. He puts a shimmer in guitar. Sometimes it's not even recognizable as a guitar," states Bob Doidge of Grant Avenue Studio. "He's probably one of the most instinctive musicians I know," says Ian Thomas, "he has complete control of his instrument. He's not content to play a part he might have heard. When Bill Dillon plays, he has his own sense of composition." 

Stay tuned for more spotlights on our guest artists
